# Installing LibreTime
|
|
There two methods of installing LibreTime - [Source](#source) or
|
|
[Ubuntu package](#ubuntu-package).
|
|
|
|
## Source
|
|
LibreTime releases can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/releases).
|
|
|
|
Recommendations:
|
|
|
|
- LibreTime should generally be installed on a dedicated host running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).
|
|
- LibreTime is undergoing active development, and is currently in ALPHA.
|
|
- It is not recommended that you install LibreTime on the same computer you are using as a desktop.
|
|
- Please review the release notes of the version you are planning on installing.
|
|
|
|
Once you have downloaded and extracted LibreTime, run the installation script by navigating into the
|
|
folder containing the LibreTime codebase, and run its install script from the command line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ./install -fiap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installer will install and configure all dependencies only if the `-fiap` flag is added. If you would prefer to configure dependencies manually, omit the flag.
|
|
|
|
A great tutorial video on how to install LibreTime is [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djo_55LgjXE).
|
|
|
|
## Ubuntu Package
|
|
LibreTime maintains amd64 .deb packages for Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) and 18.04
|
|
(Bionic). These can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime-debian-packaging/releases).
|
|
Issues with installation of these packages should be reported to the
|
|
[LibretTime/libretime-debian-packaging](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime-debian-packaging)
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
These are installed by running the following from the command line (the `./` in
|
|
front of the libretime package is important):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install icecast2 ./libretime_<version>_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
`<version>` is replaced by the version of the package downloaded.
|
|
|
|
## Alternative OS installations
|
|
Installation in Debian 9 and other Linux distributions is possible, but these
|
|
are less tested. Installation on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is also working, but deprecated due to the
|
|
fact that this version will reach its official end of life in April 2019.
|
|
|
|
Plans are in the works for `.rpm` packages, as well as Docker and AWS images. If you would like to try LibreTime in a Docker image, [odclive's (unofficial) image](https://hub.docker.com/r/odclive/libretime-docker) is a great place to start.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the install script does not take care to ensure that any
|
|
packages installed are set up in a secure manner. Please see the chapter on
|
|
[preparing the server](manual/preparing-the-server) for more details on
|
|
how to set up a secure installation.
